Dr Oz: The way you genetically alter soybeans for example, is that you take a virus and a bacteria and inject it into the soybean. That way you can spray Monsanto’s Roundup on the soybeans, and they will not be killed. You are taking one piece of DNA and swapping it with another piece of DNA, so you make a new species that is altered and will respond differently. Dr Oz asked Monsanto to participate in this segment, but they declined (of course!). They did give him the following written statement regarding the safety of GMO Foods: “There is no need for, or value in testing the safety of GM Foods in humans.
There is no need for, or value in testing the safety of GM Foods in humans.

I have seen glimpses of this show on before, but go Dr. Oz!
He is a pretty well known guy (from what I can tell), and it's great to see him speaking out against this.
I hate Monsanto... or however you spell it.

Conducting actual research on the effects of GMO toxins on human cells -- this is something Monsanto will never do -- researchers from the University of Caen in France have found that the Cry1Ab protein, a Bt toxin deliberately produced in many GM crops, including Monsanto's MON810 Bt corn, destroys human cells at levels of 100 parts per million (ppm) dilution and higher when consumed by itself.
Additionally, the researchers found that exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide formula, induces human cell death at exposures as low as 50 ppm, which is "far below agricultural dilutions," according to the report. At a dilution of 57.5 ppm, which is only slightly higher, Roundup effectively kills 50 percent of human cells, which clearly illustrates its severe toxicity.
